At each point P of a curve for which x > 0 the tangent cuts the y-axis at T, and N is the foot of the perpendicular from P to the y-axis. If T is always 1 unit below N and the curve passes through the point (1,0), find the Cartesian equation of the curve.

When faced with a problem like this, it is always a good idea to draw a rough sketch of what might be going on. With the help of a diagram, we notice that PNT is a right angled triangle w...

A triangle has sides of length 8 cm, 10 cm and 14 cm. Work out the size of the largest angle of the triangle. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.

Utilising the cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC, substitute in the given lengths. We therefore get that 14² = 10² + 8² − 2 × 10 × 8 × cosA . Expanding this expression we then get that 196 = 164 - 160cos...
